DEAL OR NO DEAL PSYCHIC SPECIAL

7.30pm Tuesday August 31 on the Seven Network

Psychics, clairvoyants, numerologists, mediums -
they say they can cross over to the other side, but will they come
back with the big money? In a television first,
DEAL OR NO DEAL puts them to the test at 7.30pm Tuesday August 31
on the Seven Network.

Twenty-six professional psychics will use their
sensory powers to try and win themselves a share of more than $2
million. The contestants include psychics with a range of
specialised skills, including a white witch, spiritual healers,
astrologers, tarot readers, face readers and the President of the
Australian Psychic Association.

Hosted by ANDREW O'KEEFE, the DEAL OR NO DEAL
PSYCHIC SPECIAL will be filmed before a studio audience and
monitored by leading financial auditors KPMG.

Twenty-five contestants will take to the podium and
with every correct guess of the amount in the briefcases the
individual player will win $1000. The main contestant will
use their special ability to choose the one briefcase with the
ultimate prize of $2 million, then one-by-one eliminate the
remaining 25 briefcases.

“If they have faith in their gift and
are as accurate as they claim then we should see 25 contestants
walk away with $1000 and one contestant take home the $2 million
top prize,” says Andrew, who's also been warned
many will 'read' his emotions and possibly his future
during the show.

Rachal from The Oracle At Delphi, a
'reading-room' based in Melbourne's Ferntree
Gully, is an African Sharman and will be competing on the
night.

“It is a very real possibility the $2
million will be won and everyone I've spoken to is really
excited about the prospect,” she says.
“Psychic ability is dependent on
emotion, and some contestants will try and tune in to the crew
around them, others will concentrate on the emotion surrounding the
cases, some may do a reading the night before or even mediate upon
or fast over it.”

It's also feasible those desperate to win the
money will cast a spell over the game to give themselves a better
chance of winning. And what if some contestants try to pick
up the energy of the KPMG auditor who knows which case contains the
$2 million? Rachal suggests he wears a quartz crystal against
his skin to block the psychic energy.

Will someone walk away with the $2 million or will
it be a win for the sceptics? They may have the gift, but will they
get the cash? Find out soon on the
